And were each rated on 5-point frequency scale (1 – never; 5 – always). Only variables with the least missing values were used in the cluster analysis: partner, children, yours or your partner‟s parents, other family members and retirement home. Overall, n = 617 respondents were classified in one of the identified clusters. Number of clusters was determined by deprogram exploration (Appendix). Krystal – Wallis test was used to test the hypothesis H. This test is the alternative to NOVA when assumptions regarding normality and/or equality of variance-co variance matrix across groups are not met. Cluster membership was treated as an independent variable and work-family balance assessment as a dependent variable.
